I'm completely smitten, myself, and as you said, I haven't been this excited about someone in many, many years. That said, I wonder if her live shows can be uneven? I saw her solo last year in a little theatre in Sellersville, PA, and she was just wonderful. Then I saw her with a band at Lehigh University and she wasn't as good - for one thing, the band drowned her out.

She is so young, and her lyrics and melodies seem beyond her years. I am glad to hear that there have been raves. I hope people will check her out. She is going to be on Broadway doing Three Penny Opera with Cyndi Lauper in the spring. Of course, she will have to work on remember lyrics in that venue ;-) Meanwhile, I am surprised that she didn't do something more keyboard based. Chelsea Morning is a guitar based tune, and though I think Joni would admire her attitude of experimentation, she should have worked it all out before hand. However, I think she was added last minute. Bill On Feb 3, 2006, at 4:54 PM, Deb Messling wrote: > Hi Bill, > > There have been a lot of raves about Nellie posted to JMDL.

Oddly enough, I think I've heard better versions of "Black Crow" by some of the performers at JoniFests. Yeah, I'll agree with you on this one. All RIGHT! Now THAT'S worth the extra money, isn't it? If you thought Bettye's version of "Last Chance Lost" was powerful, you should hear her take on the Lucinda Williams song, "JOY". Subject: Re: Some tribute notes > Nellie McKay - Chelsea Morning: Disappointing, CM > was not a good fit for her. And how can you blow a > line when you have the book right in front of you? Annoying, very annoying, especially coming right after Bettye's heartfelt performance. Nellie McKay's piano playing and singing sounded like a little chirpy bird. It was like "okay, how quickly can I do this and get out of here?" Very superficial rendering. And the only low-light of the evening for me, maybe made more so because of who she followed.> I feel bad for McKay; I've heard her music before and I think she's a very talented performer. Maybe she was especially nervous since it was Carnegie Hall and all. I must admit, however, that her performance reminded me of a young child at her school recital; the way she carried her music sheets out, flubbed the line and then collected them when she was done, making a feeble bow and walking off. No one should feel ashamed at screwing up, as long as you're trying to do your best and give it your best shot. But, it's one thing to make a mistake at an informal gathering... like a JoniFest; it's another thing to do in front of thousands of people at a major venue. She must feel devastated!

Not that I like to defend greedy bastards, but there's probably some union contract thing going on there. You probably have to use their equipment and it can only be set up by their staff and these staff need to be paid for a minimum number of hours (even if it takes only an hour to set up, they get paid for three, or whatever). That's not unusual in that sort of situation, but it's still a pain in the arse. > Now, I know each artist likes to interpret a > song in their own way. > Personally, I usually like to hear something close > to the original (after all, > in > most cases, I've been listening toband lovingbthe > original for many > years). > And, I respect anyone's unique cover of a song as > long as it's well done.

What some of you loved, others either hated, or just didn't get into. We all have such different tastes, but we're all Joni fans.

Very large lack of class on the part of the > producers and the Hall. That's bizarre and just plain tacky. Wonder what happened there? I'm hoping that someone somewhere managed to record this and that it's going to show up somewhere so we can all share and that those of us who weren't there get to listen to it ultimately. I'm keeping my eye on Dimeadozen and if it turns up, I'll let y'all know, because a few of us are on that and we can download it and then share with everyone else. Keep your fingers crossed.

I burned a large series of CD's called my "Car Cruising CD's", of which I am not done, and of which I have almost 50 already....and there are nearly two whole CD's of Joni songs alone. I mostly put upbeat songs on these CD's for listening to in the car as I drive. Anyone else do this or am I just weird? LOL. Rick ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 04 Feb 2006 06:35:14 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: Re: Tribute Two Cents Hi everyone! I'm back from a most wonderful and exhilariting trip to New York! That's another post though! (Smile) I'm not going to be too hard on anyone because I can empathize with anyone getting up on that stage to pay tribute to Joni. I knwo there were imperfections in sound levels here and there but I was really trying to listen to the spirit of everyone's performance that night and how deep they went into their own souls for that performance. Richie Havens- I think I am biased about him because he is someone I always wanted to see live. Like someone else, I was absolutely mesmerized. I had a seat in the fifth row and was totally entranced as I watched him walk onto the stage. Joanne Shennandoah-I thought it was just me but apparently others feel that she had a little trouble with the song. Shawn Colvin-I was totally impressed and amazed with her version of Turbulent Indigo. She won me over as a fan that night. I had been sitting on the fence for a long time. It was very, very good. Neil Sedaka- I actually liked his playfullness with the song. I enjoyed his performance. Meshell Ndegeocello-I thought her performance was very original and heartfelt. I was wondering why she had on a hooded jacket and why she had her back turned to the audience during a musical interlude and then it occured to me that she wanted the audience not to see or hear her but rather the music of Joni. That was my take anyway. What was that comment she made about Judge Alito? (smile) Laurie Anderson-this was my first time hearing Laurie perform and she is sooooo different! It took me a moment to get accustomed to her version of Both Sides Now but once I did, I was very impressed by her interpretation. I kept wondering "what would Joni think?" Very interesting...different, but interesting! Martin Sexton-Beautiful voice and heartfelt singing. I loved the way he held those notes and just let them soar. My first time hearing him as well. The Wood Brothers-Absolutely, positively blew me away! Black Crow is one of my favorite Joni songs and they nailed it just perfectly for me!!!! This was the first time I had heard them and I am soooo hooked! I love them! Very bluesy and soulful. Tom Rush-First time hearing him too believe it or not and I did not know his history. He won me over with his calming style and manner on stage. He is truly an icon of music and I am in awe. Michelle Williams-Did a great job in my opinion with "Help Me". She sang it straight yet adapted it to her own style. Amy Grant-The reviews I read said she was predictable but I felt she sang a solid song and a heartfelt one too. I was thrilled to see her live as well. Judy Collins-It was such a thrill to see her live that it enhanced my enjoyment of her performance. I've always loved her version of Both Sides Now and she was in great voice. I was more uncomfortable with the changes in between songs than anything else. One critic liked the flow of the program but it kind of bothered me. I thought there should be something like a narration of Joni's life or background intstrumental Joni music playing. The only artist who went a little south vocally was Joanne Shennandoah and I just felt so bad for her because she was the first artist to perform. I guess I'll never be a good critic!
